Indoor training session in a dim hall decorated with hanging banners. A figure in orange robes sits in a cream armchair on a red-carpeted platform at left, apparently addressing the room. Rows of women seated on the floor in white saris with orange shawls and blue-and-orange badges fill the room, many writing in notebooks or looking down. Framed portraits of a woman hang on the back wall, and a whiteboard on an easel stands near the platform. Lighting is low and overhead fluorescent tubes are visible. Roughly a hundred or more people are visible.
